In short
The GFX 50S II supports all GFX and X-Trans film simulations, offering rich medium-format JPEGs.
Why it's the recipe body
The GFX 50S II stands as an inviting entry into the world of medium-format photography, offering a 51.4 MP Bayer sensor that's unique to the GFX line. This camera combines the power of the X-Processor 4 with in-body stabilisation, making it a joy to handle. It's not just the technical specs that capture attention but the tactile experience of shooting with a body that feels robust and refined. The expansive sensor renders film simulations with exceptional richness, letting you enjoy the full spectrum of Fujifilm's celebrated colour profiles in a larger format. This makes every shot feel immersive and true to life, allowing photographers to explore new creative possibilities.
The GFX 50S II runs GFX and X-Trans film simulations seamlessly, benefiting from the X-Processor 4's capabilities. With seven custom slots, you can save your favourite recipes, though remember that white-balance shift settings cannot be saved per slot. Enjoy the full range of Fujifilm's film simulations, just as on other GFX models, bringing your creative vision to life with each frame.
The GFX 50S II marked a milestone as the first 50 MP GFX with IBIS, expanding the line's accessibility.
